Chapter 121: The End of the Controversy
When the sail worked, Xu Yi commanded the helmsman to keep turning the rudder, and the speed of the sea falcon increased.
The boat does not look like a zigzag on the water, but an effective combination of course and wind. The distance that had been stretched by the old ships was gradually approaching with the naked eye.
Pei Yaoqing is always old, and he wants to shout at this moment, like a boatman, without taboo or anything.
Xu Xiaozi didn't let himself down after all!
"Brother Yi'er, it's okay!"
This time, instead of patting his shoulder, Cui Jian punched Xu Yi in the chest······ It's so refreshing that the mood goes up and down.
Xu Yi was not a little excited, but a little annoyed: stupid, I didn't expect this!
It turned out that a group of people who were talking about the excitement had been brought into the cabin by Pei Yaoqing, and they should eat fruits and snacks.
This mood fluctuated a little bit, and I had to be shocked.
"I'm afraid it's a little faster than the original ship downwind, right?"
"Definitely. With such ships, it is impossible for Chang'an to be short of food. This will be a great work to change the shipping of the entire country. ”
"In this way, the exchange of goods between the north and the south can be increased by at least 60 percent, and the cost of transportation can also be reduced by 30 percent."
Pei Yaoqing smiled, looking at the praise one by one.
There was once a tone of dissent against Xu Yizi, but now it's time to completely extinguish it, right?
"Xu family boy, just teach the helmsman, come in!"
Pei Yaoqing felt that the glory at this time should belong to Xu Yi, with a group of bystanders, the mood of wanting to celebrate was always a shortcoming.
In fact, how can it be celebrated? Two words of praise? Xu Yi is quite shy. Besides. Pei Yaoqing also knew that Xu Yi should be clumsy at this time, and King Xin'an also specially explained, don't push this kid forward.
Xu Yi is very humble, and he salutes when he enters the door, one by one.
If you are not humble, you can't be humble, you can be invited by Old Man Pei, and those who are qualified to participate in this matter are either nobles or families, and they are all powerful in the court now.
Li Wei told him.
Since it is related to the imperial court, if you don't have any power in the court, you are not qualified to get involved.
Therefore, Xu Yi must be humble.
It's not strange to have many people.
Listening to them praise themselves, although they can't grow half a pound of meat, they are still quite proud in their hearts.
Xu Yi smiled and kept being polite, as long as he praised it, Xu Yi would deal with it modestly.
"Xu family boy, the usage of this sail may be used for sea vessels?"
It was the Wuxing Shen family who asked the question. Xu Yi wasn't sure if he was running an overseas business, so he told the truth when he asked.
"Back to Shen Gong, the sail uses the power of the wind, in the boy's opinion, the sailboat should be more effective on the sea than the river boat in the canal······"
"The secret method of using sails is about to change the entire shipping!"
Xu Yi originally wanted to say a few more words, this was a good opportunity to gain connections, but was interrupted by Pei Yaoqing.
Secret method? Can this also be considered a secret method? He has already taught the craftsmen of the shipyard that he is a general resultant drawing, and he stays in the shipyard for a copy.
Do you want to come back?
"Xu family boy, if there is a chance, the old man would like to know more about your sail secret method······
"It is true that the sail was pioneered by the Xu family, but this is also a great achievement in the world. I think the Xu family kid also seems to know something about shipping, and he thinks about Lingling. ”
"You have also seen it, the Xu family kid is tidy about the sundries of the boat, even the old boatman for many years can't compare!"
The discussion was lively, and every sentence was very pleasant, Xu Yizhen had the mood to chat together.
But seeing Pei Yaoqing's constant glare, he still held back.
At this time, is he a strange commodity?
Actually, Xu Yi really has the heart to talk to the guy who plays shipping. Whether it is in the Eastern Capital or in Yangzhou, Xu Yi found that the profits of shipping are too great.
Speaking of the spices, Xu Yi remembered the so-called Southeast Asian sea······
It's so ambitious, I don't want to, I definitely can't think about it.
In this era, Xu Yi sees real business opportunities as unlimited and can be seen everywhere. You can't make all your money yourself, can you?
Bear with me, the coming days will be long.
When the new-style sea falcon caught up with the old boat, Xu Yi guided him to circle the water and sail back.
The trial voyage was successful, and the more everyone was more and more motivated to compete for interests, and it became more and more difficult to reach agreement on the dispute.
"Haven't discussed it yet?"
Originally, Pei Chong and Xiao Xing came to report the progress to Xu Yi every day, but it has been five or six days, and Pei Chong and Xiao Xing have nothing to say.
Every day it's those few sentences, and it's the same point of contention. Xu Yi was in a hurry, but he asked first.
"No, everyone wants to take the lead, but they are equally powerful."
"Isn't the royal family here too?"
"What about the royal family? After ensuring the interests of his family, he will no longer be mixed and watch the excitement. ”
That's not what history books say. In Xu Yi's concept, he really thinks that the whole world is not the king's land, but the fact is that the royal family is also carving up the interests of the whole world.
As for watching the excitement, Xu Yi can understand. The royal family is eager to have constant disputes, and only in this way can the saint be stable.
However, this is endless, and there has been no result, isn't it a delay.
Seeing that this year's flood season is coming, after the flood season, the dry season in autumn is a good time to build a ferry, they have no fun like this, and they want to start this project, I don't know if it will be pushed to the Year of the Monkey.
The conflict of interests does not hinder Xu Yi's business, but efficiency hinders his own business.
Xu Yi didn't dare to be arrogant and think that he could reconcile the disputes between the various forces, unless he gave up his share that should have belonged to him.
It's really not going to go on like this.
During this time, Xu Yi was not purely idle, but had been wandering around the shipyard and docks. With Hu Laosan, this person who is familiar with Yangzhou shipping.
Maybe you can try to convince them yourself? Up in the air.
These nobles only see a little bit in their eyes, why can't they look far and wide.
After three more days, Xu Yizhen couldn't help it.
The craftsmen are waiting to work, the shipyards are also waiting to purchase large materials, and this group of so-called cargo owners are arguing all day long······
It's been almost a month, and even Cui Lian has gone back, and there is no result discussed here.
At this time, rumors about ferries and sailing ships had spread throughout the Dasheng Dynasty. According to the letter from Dongdu, these days there are even more people who go to the new ferry port of Dongdu to observe than the goods.
Even if people can't learn the essence, they don't have to worry about making plans. If this argument continues, the inland river ferries of the entire Sheng Dynasty have been operated and built.
Therefore, Xu Yi couldn't hold back and walked into the courtyard where Pei Yaoqing was in the official post.
"The Xu family kid is here······"
"Xu Yi is here."
"Come on ······"
They were quite polite, so that Xu Yi's feet that had just stepped into the door had the heart to take it back.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to the ferry and the shipyard more in the past few days? ”
Pei Yaoqing seemed to be asking, but with a strong sense of worry.
In this situation, Xu Yi, as the owner of the secret method of sailing and the planner of the construction of the ferry, has a great right to speak.
There have been more than three or five people who have mentioned letting Xu Yilai lead the distribution of benefits, but Pei Yaoqing has been shirking and doesn't want to bring this kid in.
Xu Yi's background is not enough to deter these giants. said that he has the right to speak, and such a right to speak will also bring grievances to Xu Yi.
After this time together, Pei Yaoqing took Xu Yi a little seriously, and didn't want this kid to cause trouble.
has been letting Pei Chong take Xu Yi around Yangzhou, who would have thought that this kid would actually come······
"Pei Gong, the kid has done a statistical analysis of the ships coming and going in Yangzhou Port these days, and I want to refer to the public counsellors in detail with some ideas."
"By asking the coolies, officials, merchants, and shipwrights at the wharf, the boy learned about the actual situation of trade as a transit port between the north and the south."
"Princes, the boy thinks like this: the dynasty not only has canal waterways, not only canal shipping, but also lucrative shipping, as well as Yangtze River shipping, Pearl River shipping, Yellow River shipping, and even inland shipping within the entire dynasty."
"All shipping can and will use sailboats, and the state capitals and counties that have shipping in the country can also be renovated and built ferries."
"The kid thinks that there is no need for the princes to argue about the canal channel all the time, and it is completely possible to use the canal channel as the main line and supplement all the shipping of the country and the dynasty, so as to balance the demands of the princes, so as to reach an agreement as soon as possible."
"Although the use of sailboats requires theoretical guidance, once the style of sailing is copied by others, more trials can also master how to control various types of sails."
"In addition, with the actual opening of the Dongdu tidal flat ferry, the construction of the ferry, even if it cannot be standardized, can still be copied."
"Half of the year has passed, whether it is shipbuilding or building ferries, it takes time and needs to seize the opportunity. I hope you will think about it. ”
In addition, the kid thought that the princes could partner with each other, first balance the big picture, and then subdivide it. Whether it is inland waterway shipping or expanded shipping, it can be carried out by several trading companies that are in a few partnerships. ”
"Supporting each other and competing with each other can also ensure that the entire shipping is not a family and one family and the situation is chaotic, and it can also avoid leading to monopoly, which in turn affects the shipping of the entire dynasty to be controlled by others."
Some of the words are not completely thorough, I believe that there are their own points, and these people should be able to figure it out.
In the same way that the saints want to see strife and complete harmony over the entire canal navigation is not what the saints want.
The current dispute is chaos, if it is directly divided, several forces participate in it, and take over all the shipping of the entire dynasty, but it is not a family, only such a complicated shipping with intertwined interests can reassure the saint.
After speaking, Xu Yi didn't care what the expressions of these people were, and after bowing slightly, he left.
Pei Chong and Xiao Xing followed, with excitement on their faces: "Brother Yi'er, you are too good, a group of old guys, you are just speechless by what you said." Hahaha······"
